PROCLAMATION Aindrican Jewish Press Month
The period of May 22, to June 17 has been selected this year for the observance of American Jewish Press Month.
This period is being highlighted this year by the scheduling of the 1967 Convention of the AJtnerican Jewish Press Associatian in Israel May 2$ - Jjine 4. During this historic first for Ainerican Jewish joumalisnii'-'newspapeniien, from, throughout .America . yfiU gathefforSrare^'experiBnteibtoBMnrv^ptllwr'and study'of the, ' 'Jewish State, whose on-going sldry has'been a steady highlight in periodicals throughout bur .'nation for the last nineteen years. This emphasis promises to hol^ as well for years ahead.
At the same time the Association takes this occasion to crystalize the aims and purposes of Jewish newspaper journalism in America, directing attentiop' to the importance for American Jewry to maintain a free, vigorous and vital Jewish press in our pluralistic society. j I
The American Jewish press is not a foreign-language press. It expresses in the English language the aims, goals and aspira¬ tions of American Jewry for a<free democratic America.   ,
It mirrors the Jewish organizational life in pur local com¬ munities.
It reflects the contributiohbjof Jewish leadership to the re¬ ligious, cultural and social life of American Jewry and to the civic, political and economic life of the. general community.
It is concemed with the continuity of the Jewish group, the advancement of the heritage of our Jewish faith and the encour¬ agement of everything that is good and true and fine in the well- being of Jewry everywhere and the support of Israel.
It.reflects from week to week the joys and sorrows, the suc¬ cesses and ftdlures of the Ufe of the Jewish community through¬ out our iand. t
The American Jewish press can continue as a vital force in each commumty depending upon ever-widening support and encouragement of Jewish people and our friends.
And above all else, the Jewish press serves as a imifying force in each community, acting as a guardian of our faith and the -faith of'America.'
The Proclamation is issued in the name of the American Jewish Press Association by
